Digital handheld refractometer KRÜSS DR201-95
The DR201-95 is a compact, mobile and splash-proof digital handheld refractometer. It is used to measure the refractive index (nD) and the sugar content in % (%Brix) of liquid and viscous samples. Thanks to the automatic temperature compensation for the BRIX scale, a reproducible measurement can be achieved even under changing ambient conditions. The automatic temperature compensation for the BRIX scale supports the user when measuring sugary drinks and confectionery. The device is splash-proof and meets the IP64 standard. The DR201-95 is used in the food and beverage industry, in pharmacies, laboratories and testing laboratories as well as in research and teaching.
- Measurement range: nD 1.3330-1.5318 and 0-95%Brix
- Mobile automatic measurement at the touch of a button
- High measurement accuracy: nD ±0.0003 and ±0.2 %Brix
- Reproducible measurement results that are not dependent on the user’s interpretation.
- Automatic temperature compensation (BRIX scale)
- Swift filling and cleaning
- With high-quality, fully chrome-plated measurement tray
- Robust housing and low device weight
Digital on-site measurements at the touch of a button
The mobile measurement with a digital handheld refractometer saves time as random checks or the regulation of mixing ratios can be carried out directly on the site. The measurement results are determined at the touch of a button and shown on the display. Unlike in the case of the analogue handheld refractometers, the digital determination of reproducible measurement results does not depend on the user’s interpretation
Typical applications KRÜSS DR201-95
The digital hand-held refractometers DR201-95 are the ideal solution for the chemical, petrochemical, automotive, aviation, metal processing and food industry as well as for hospitals and pharmacies.
